Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality [PDF]

Animal, 2010
This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.

Weaning Stress Aggravates Defense Response and the Burden of Protein Metabolism in Low-Birth-Weight Piglets [PDF]

Animals
The effect of low birth weight (LBW) on piglet development has been widely demonstrated. However, the reasons for the significant decline in the growth performance of LBW piglets after weaning remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the

Transcriptomic analysis of the stress response to weaning at housing in bovine leukocytes using RNA-seq technology [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Weaning of beef calves is a necessary husbandry practice and involves separating the calf from its mother, resulting in numerous stressful events including dietary change, social reorganisation and the cessation of the maternal-offspring bond ...

Glucuronolactone Restores the Intestinal Barrier and Redox Balance Partly Through the Nrf2/Akt/FOXO1 Pathway to Alleviate Weaning Stress-Induced Intestinal Dysfunction in Piglets. [PDF]

Antioxidants (Basel)
(1) Background: Glucuronolactone (GLU) is a glucose metabolite with antioxidant activity. At present, the exact role of it in regulating the intestinal health of piglets under weaning stress is not clear.

Early life feeding accelerates gut microbiome maturation and suppresses acute post-weaning stress in piglets. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol, 2021
Summary Early life microbiome perturbations can have important effects on host development, physiology and behaviour. In this longitudinal study, we evaluated the impact of early feeding on gut microbiome colonization in neonatal piglets.

Supplementation of coated sodium butyrate relieved weaning stress and reshaped microbial flora in weaned lambs. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
Weaning is an important period in the growth and development of lambs. Thus, effectively reducing the occurrence of weaning stress is critical for maintaining lamb production.

What Do We Know and Need to Know About Weaning in Sheep? An Overview of Weaning Practises, Stress and Welfare

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2022
Artificial weaning is the separation of the mother and her lamb, involving the forced ending of suckling and milk supply by the ewes to their lambs. Artificial weaning time varies depending on the purpose of each sheep farm and the characteristics of the

The Role of Polyphenols in Regulation of Heat Shock Proteins and Gut Microbiota in Weaning Stress. [PDF]

Oxid Med Cell Longev, 2021
Gut microbiota is the natural residents of the intestinal ecosystem which display multiple functions that provide beneficial effects on host physiology.

Dietary Fiber-Derived Butyrate Alleviates Piglet Weaning Stress by Modulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Pathway. [PDF]

Nutrients
During weaning, piglets are susceptible to intestinal inflammation and impairment in barrier function. Dietary fiber (DF) plays an active role in alleviating weaning stress in piglets.

25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 supplementation improves growth performance and alleviates weaning stress in calves by modulating intestinal microbiota and metabolic pathways [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
The purpose of this study was to assess how 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 affected pre-and post weaning calves’ growth performance, weaning stress, fecal microbial communities and metabolites, and serum metabolites.
